| Abstract: | Splenic artery aneurysm (SAA) is the commonest visceral artery aneurysm. Surgical or endovascular treatment of SAA may result in loss of most or all of spleen. We present a case of an aneurysm of superior segmental branch of splenic artery, which was successfully treated by sub-selective embolisation of the feeding arterial branch. The splenic function was preserved and hence precluding pneumococcal vaccines and long-term antibiotics. |
